Alhamdulillah, we've been able to follow the schedules for the past week. Having a schedule seems to be the most beneficial thing in homeschooling, if I can actually make one before we start for the day. One challenge I still have not been able to overcome is to be able to teach Huda without upsetting Meryem. Hopefully Meryem will mature faster and let us do that inshallah.
One thing struck me today as I was listening to Muhammad Shareef's lecture on anger management, that if we love someone and want that person to be in our lives, we have to be with him. If we want Rasullullah(SAW) to be in our lives, we have to study about him very frequently. How can we have him in our lives as an example if we don't talk about him very often and study his life in depth?
May Allah help me incorporate his life into my teachings.

Beautiful Eager Face
She was there every Wednesday. Always eager, always ready, tugging my dress for attention, to learn something new.
"Where are your stickers?" she would ask. "This time I'm putting a note in your bag, so you don't forget them next time."
SubhanaAllah, how we can get attached to someone we never knew 2 months ago. I've been blessed to have the energy to do lot of volunteering. But somehow this tutoring on Wednesdays after a long day of homeschooling always seemed a very daunting job.
But this precious girl was leaving(her father's job got transferred) and I finally realized why I must continue in every possible way to encourage small girls to keep striving hard to do well in school. Even if for a few hours a week, I felt I had touched someone and someone had touched me. I still remember her mother's voice, talking about her daughter enthusiasm: "She was always so eager to come to the masjid on Wednesdays!"
